BENDER WOUUMJOACH HERE
Former Cornbnsker Foot Ball Star
Applies for Position at the
University of Omaha.
IS MENTOR AT WASHINGTON
That Johnny Bender, one of the moat
famoua of foot ball heroes ever turned
out at the University of Nebraska. 1 try
ing to land a job a coach at the Univer
sity of Omaha Is the word that come
from Spokane, where Johnny la now lo
cated. Bender has been acting as coach
at ttio University of Washington for sev
eral years, and his record I the pride
and Joy of the state. But Johnny wants
to come east and look upon Omaha aa a
oomlng school.
Bonder was a quarterback and half
back at Nebraska, and waa famous for
hi long runs through broken field. He
was the peer of all open field runner at
Nebraska and hi name is still a byword
on the Lincoln campus.
Bender wa also considerable track and
base ball player in addition to gridiron
hero. He waa a catcher on the Omaha
base ball club and had the makln of a
star, but he selected coaching aa his
sphere and quit professional ball.
The Omaha school would do well to ac
cept Bender. At Washington he turned
out seven consecutive championship elev
en In addition to winning honor In other
sports, and four times he did so without
any material to speak of. He has whipped
green elevens Into gridiron timber suffi
cient to trim more experienced elevens,
and I recognised as the greatest coach
on the Pacific coast.
